Police ammo

What ammo do the El Paso police use?

 

[TipBledsoe]

That sounds like a “loaded question” lol

 

[glenbo]

Why don't you ask one?

If I find one I will.

So if I use the same as they do, the courts cannot say I used overkill ammo.

I dated a cop a few years back and she was issued 50 rd boxes of Gold Dot. Don't remember what grains or +p or std pressure. So if you use GD, you can say you use same thing they do/did. But I think that's not something to really be concerned about.

She never wanted to go to the range, just did the required requals, then put her Glock away for the next time. Uncleaned...

The prosecutor in a court will use anything he can against you. Your actions are more important than your choice of ammunition.

Normally, I would say don’t fall into that stupid trap, but you’ve already recorded your thought process; now the prosecutor will simply up the charge to murder since you’re obviously planning how to get away with shooting somebody.


Having said all that, you’ll get better mileage studying and understanding Texas Penal Code Chapter 9.

Police use boolits

I believe you have larger problems other than choice of ammo for any given occasion.

Number one "Don't" over think it.

I do the same. They always go bang, clean or not.

Until they don't...

It’s probably coming. 20 years is coming up soon.

 

[Whalercohasset]

If I remember right, 124 gr +P Gold Dot. As for why, try not to overthink things.

 

[Ingramite]

I use blanks so no worries about liability.

That is a nonissue.

To those of you laughing at the OP’s reasoning;

In a just world deadly force is deadly force. Whether it is a pistol or a SUV, if you are justified in its use, it should be a non issue.

In the clown world we live in;

Harold Fish- convicted of 2nd Degree murder ( overturned on appeal after serving 3 years) part of the prosecution’s argument ( or shit they slung to 12 who couldn’t get out of jury duty) was his choice of ammo and caliber ( 10mm)

That is the only one I can cite off the top of my head, but it does happen.

Op might change his tune if he was to price good defensive pistol ammo. And if your going to use it its wise to practice with it.

Hope he didn't pay much for his lawyer! Whatever it was he deserves a refund.
